I liked the stuff with Tony out of the suit, for the same reason I love Superman stories where he doesn't use his powers beyond his super senses and it's just a little noir adventure where he solves a mystery as Clark Kent. Taking an established character and putting them into a kind of situation that they don't normally deal with is just fun.

For a while, okay. Not an entire movie where the title name is barely on the screen.

Why? If the movie is still entertaining and it comes naturally from the story then why does it matter?

When you put the name of a superhero in the title, that's not only a title but a promise. If that promise in unfulfilled you feel disappointed and/or just wondering why on earth they made a movie about a character that is not on the screen.

I would go and see a movie called "Tony Stark's Adventures" if that was what I would actually see.

But the character was on screen. Tony Stark and Iron Man are the same person.

IM3 was a huge disappointment for me. I was expecting the Mandarin so it was no big deal. but I was expecting some you know .. actual competent badass iron Man action. hated kid sidekick ( although for such wasn't terrible. I hated I waited all movie for Tony to be Iron Man and I never really got to see him really in action except the plane where he wasn't even in the suit. I hated all the suits including the Iron Patriot were basically useless. I hated we got very little Tony and pepper . I hated super Pepper. Finally I hated the neat little last minute wrap up including the Arc reactor removable as an after thought.

No. Batman in TDKR was enough time on screen. and when he was there it wasn't just the suit but Bruce Wayne in it. Also, he wasn't easily defeated every time he was there. Only when Bane fought him and that was much better than Iron Man in an armor with no weapons that got trapped under the sea in no time.

Enough time for you maybe, I've read others complain about it.

Well, Jarvis clearly explains to Tony that the suit is a prototype and has no flight power or weapons online. He uses the suit to basically keep himself safe. There's debris and parts of his house falling on top of him, the suit saves him.

Yes. Bad decision from the writers there. Every way was explored in order to avoid showing Iron Man in action. Even having the suit without Tony in it, or having Pepper suddenly transformed into a superheroine.

The entire purpose of the movie was to show how vulnerable Tony had become.

I have already explained in great detail why the Mandarin twist doesn't work but I also hated the chemistry between Tony and Pepper. In Iron Man 1 they were great but in IM2 and ever since it has been constantly Pepper nagging or complaining and Tony responding in akward speech patterns

There are only 3 things that i didnt like.
1. Removing the Reactor. wtf?
2. The Mandarin. I got way too hyped. (i love the mandarin stories) and i also feel that they couldve done so much more with the mandarin.
3. Lastly is no war machine. Iron Patriot was cool but i wouldve perfered that they went with war machine. again just me.
With that said I still loved the movie. Not the greatest iron man film but pretty good.
